Trump says he'll wear mask during upcoming trip to Walter Reed

[left-of-center2012]

President Trump on Thursday said he'll wear a mask during an upcoming trip to Walter Reed hospital to meet with staff and injured soldiers, which would mark a rare instance he has done so publicly. "I think it’s fine to wear a mask out if it makes you feel comfortable," Trump told Sean Hannity on Fox News, citing "certain conditions" where it would be appropriate, such as visiting a hospital.

"I’m going to Walter Reed to see some of our great soldiers who have been injured. Badly injured. And also see some of our COVID workers, people who have done such a great job," Trump said. "And I expect to be wearing a mask when I go into Walter Reed. You’re in a hospital so I think it’s a very appropriate thing."

Trump is expected to visit Walter Reed this weekend.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued guidance in April encouraging Americans to wear masks when social distancing was not possible, noting that it can cut down on the risk of those carrying the virus transmitting it to others. But the White House has been reluctant to embrace the use of masks. Officials are no longer required to wear them in the West Wing.

1. Why's he going to Walter Reed?

So he can gawk over our wounded soldiers who are the result of Putin's bounties??

6. "If it makes you feel comfortable?"

No, you self-centered moron. Masks are quite UNCOMFORTABLE. They’re not worn for personal comfort. They are worn, by conscientious people, because we’re in the middle of a pandemic, and it’s important for the health of ALL OF US to limit the spread of this disease.

Don’t you get that? (rhetorical question) Obviously, he does not ... because, well, sociopath.
